Public bug reported: Windows with U+2028 (LINE SEPARATOR) in their title get messed up.
Simple test case: load http://chrismorgan.info/temp/u2028.html in Firefox. If you can't (or don't want to) access that URL, its contents is """<title>Line
break</title>""". - Firefox gives the tab the title "Linebreak". It drops the U+2028. This, I think, is almost the best solution (I'd like it to turn it into a space, as it is a whitespace character, but that's irrelevant here). - The window manager gives the unmaximised window the title bar contents "Line...". It truncates at the strange character and appends an ellipsis. (What controls this? GNOME, Compiz, Unity?) - Unity gives the maximised window the title bar contents "Line"---here a line break---"break - Mozilla Firefox". The text is middle-aligned, with the result that the top of the first line and the bottom of the second line are cut off. I'm not sure about whether \r and/or \n or any other line-breaking whitespace there may be triggers this. I've only tried U+2028 (because I ran across it on a web page). It'll be worth checking the others, though.
